Hi Mark,
My husband and I heard you on Hugh Hewit a few nights ago.  You said your ice cream is by far the best in the world.  Being a chocoholic, I had to find out.  I purchased a pint of your Ghana chocolate at the Whole Foods Market in Lakewood, CO and Oh!  My!  Gosh!  I'm in love.  I have tried most brands of ice cream, always chocolate, and NOTHING comes close to what your brand offers.  I know Choctal is a new company, so I want to encourage you to keep getting the word out.  I hope to hear you talk to Hugh again.  Mrs. Hewit would be nuts not to admit your ice cream is the best. 

Sincerely,

Mr. Boatright,
I'm afraid you've went ahead and founded a company that has produced the best chocolate ice cream I've ever had.  The only problem I face now is possible addiction.  Since having my first pint (the San Dominican), I soon went back to the store and bought up the other 4 pints I had not tried.  Luckily, I weigh in now at just a buck-fifty, but with ice cream this good, I'm bound to be up to a nice healthy weight in no time. This is seriously good stuff.  My praise to it comes out filled with a particular passion that makes entire groups of people suddenly listen in as I go on my rant:  "I mean, this stuff is GOOD.  The first time I had it, I said 'DAMN, that is GOOD!'".  I've had people already remember me at the checkout line at the grocery store.  "Oh yeah, you're that guy whose really into this stuff.  I heard you talking about it last time.".  Of course, he was a frickin' vegan.  I had to tell him what he's missing out on though. In any case, I hope there's a 12 step program out there somewhere for me. Goodbye for now, I've got just half a pint of the Ghana left.

Thanks for being so nice. My husband and I met you at the wine tasting last Friday night when I needed to sit down and the ladies sitting on the bench were not only gracious enough to move over but were friendly and included me in their conversation. We tried you ice cream and it's very special. We will definitely serve it at our next dinner party. We have a friend who is allergic to eggs but loves chocolate. I have to tell her about your yummy flavors.

Thanks again,
Marcia Schechter

Hi Marc,
My name is Beth Saliba and I work for Accountemps, a division of Robert Half International.  I recently had a meeting with David Hollister at The Market Connections Group.  He gave me 2 pints of your ice cream to take back to my office and I wanted to tell you how much my team and I enjoyed it.  We had the vanilla flavor and also one of the chocolates.  It was amazing.

Hello Marc -
I was recently introduced to your incredible chocolate ice cream a couple of weeks ago at Whole Foods in Glendale.  I happen to be a chocoholic and was blown away by the intense chocolate flavors of Choctˆ°l.  There was a rep at the store and he let me try all 4 flavors and I chose Ghana as my very favorite.  I brought a pint home and introduced my sister to it while she was visiting me.  She thought it was the best chocolate ice cream she had ever tasted. So I just felt the need to let you know how impressed I am with your product.  I’Äôm sure creating it must have been a labor of love, and I thought you might like to know that there are some very appreciative customers out there.  Choctal is a real winner!

Sincerely,

Your message on the website rings true. There are too few chocolate ice-creams - specially those that appeal to lovers of dark chocolate.
Thank you.

Cheers.

I just want to let you know how much I love your wonderful products!  We have tried many of the chocolate flavors, and I am sad when the freezer case does NOT have your most delicious vanilla ice cream ever:  "Pure Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla."  Keep up the good work!  I hope that your brand catches on in many stores.  Once tasted, your delicious ice cream will inspire customer loyalty. So far, I have seen and purchased your ice cream at Whole Foods.

Best wishes,
Suzanne Licht

Had the opportunity to sample your Ice Creams here in Breckenridge, CO last night. Fantastic! I was curious if you use products that are economically viable, environmentally sound and socially equitable? If you do you should let people know!

Many Thanks,

Hello Mr. Boatwright,
I just tasted several of your ice creams, as they were sent to a magazine where I'm working.  I have to tell you how extraordinary they are!  Wonderful, fragrant, evocative flavors, luscious texture.  I can't find enough superlatives. Congratulations to you and I wish you the best!

Sincerely,
Karen Lubeck

The most expensive ice cream I have ever experienced was at Le Louis XV restaurant in Monaco.  Yours placed second in cost.  Yours is BETTER.  I have been eating ice cream for many, many years.  Lots of ice cream.  Always with a FORK.  Your  Madagascar Vanilla is the finest vanilla ice cream to cross my lips. I first read of your product a couple of weeks ago in a supplement of the Los Angeles Daily News.  I cut the article away from the remainder of the supplement and then misplaced it somewhere.  The article made some suggestions as to which flavor of chocolate was the best.  I considered buying all four chocolate flavors, but if the fat content didn’t kill me, my Wife would.  Is it possible to direct me to where I might retrieve a copy of this particular article? By the way... CONGRATULATIONS to your sales and marketing executive.  I rarely shop at Whole Foods because I rarely consume foods that are GOOD for me.  Considering the fat content, calories, and all of the other things that should not be sold at Whole Foods, he did well.  Incidentally, Whole Foods just began selling Ben and Jerry’s products so it appears you are trendsetters. Congratulations on your anticipated success and please feel free to contact me should you need a critical palette to experience any new flavors.  I live in Porter Ranch so I can be there at a moments notice.

Only the best to you, your colleagues and your Company.

Surely, I have died and gone to heaven. Or...it could be my recent discovery of your ice cream that make me feel this way.  I have waited a lifetime for the perfect chocolate cream and, thanks to you, my long wait is over. I have, literally, traveled all over the globe and spent considerable time along the way searching for the best local chocolate products.  Now, all I have to to is run in to Zabar's (in NYC) to get my fix.
 
I will be in Vegas shortly and hope to find your sensational ice creams during my stay.
 
Thank you.
